Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm a passionate instructor who loves working with students from all levels. However, my specialty lies in teaching advanced piano students. Due to the wide variety of experience in the piano teaching career, I have had the privilege of working with advanced piano students. I have had more than 10 years of teaching piano experience ranging from working with a privately owned Montessori school in Buena Park, CA. to working for a Music School, Brea. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
From my private lessons with Jamie Valentino, who teaches at the University of Redlands and holds a Doctrine in Classical and Jazz guitar, I've learned a number of techniques for every style. We will go over timing, and strumming patterns, as well as knowing the circle of fifths, harmony, scales, finger technique warm ups for both hands, and pick control using a number of exciting songs as a supplement so we can play and practice at the same time.

Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning students, I focus on building a solid foundation of vocal technique (including: breath, resonance, posture, register, and diction). We build this foundation through singing pieces that the student is familiar with and lots of vocal exercises. At the same time, I like to introduce basic music theory concepts. I typically start with Alfred's Basic Piano Prep Course Theory. Upon grasping and understanding fundamentals, I will begin to introduce repertoire from different styles of music. Read More

I first began the art of teaching when I was in college teaching Chemistry. I know it may sound like it is not related, but teaching one subject helps you teach another! I led group Chemistry classes and continue to this day teaching chemistry to the high school and college level. However, after a full year of intense piano studies practicing 3-4 hours daily and studying under my 3 teachers, I felt finally ready to take on students in April of 2016. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For young students I use Faber and Alfred books. As well as Famous and Fun books which have popular tunes to help keep the students motivated to practice. My older students work in the standard Hanon exercise book which helps develop agility and evenness in the hands and fingers. I also teach my students all 12 Major and minor scales, arpeggios, and chord progressions. My more advanced students usually learn classical music and Jazz/Blues Rags series by Martha Mier. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
I have taught on and off for the last 7 years. Recently I have decided to change careers and focus music and teaching full time. During my time as an undergrad student I taught percussion and basic piano lessons in the local area. Since leaving school in 2014 I have continued my music education and focused on teaching young children both group and individual. I enjoy teaching in order to help improve student's lives , to create positive study habits and set goals which will help them later in all aspects of their personal and professional lives. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Probably my piano teacher, Dr. Susan Boettger. As a graduate of the Julliard school of music, she was able to precisely see in a student their potential and capabilties in a way that they haven't even realized in themselves yet. She was able to do this because of an absolute mastery in her abilties and understanding of her field to the point where she was able to push and guide someone to be at their absolute best. I think this trait rubbed off on me over time as a teacher even as I have switched instruments. All the things she told me back then that I didnt yet quite understand or see resonate with me now more strongly than ever and it shows in my enthusiasm and willingness to do whatever it takes to see my students success.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
PRACTICE SLOWLY. Your mind often understands things faster than your muscle memory can so it is EXTREMELY important to start things out slow and then build up speed as you get more and more comfortable. Playing along to a metronome also helps immensely in order to gauge and measure your learning efficiency as well as promote and insure proper technique. Finally, its also important in the long run to get used to playing to a metronome (or a click) especially if you plan on playing live and or get into recording and composition. Finally, ALWAYS keep in mind that learning is NOT a competition. Its a chance for you to discover new ways to keep yourself feeling motivated and inspired.
When will I start to see results?
It really depends on the person and how much dedicated time one puts into their practices. For some, it might be as fast as 2 weeks. For others, it might take about a month or two. Either way, the main important thing to remember is that how much effort goes in is usually how much that comes out. Its important for me as a teacher to gauge each student's learning capacity and give them tips into practicing more efficiently that caters to their needs and conditions.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Whenever they express enthusiasm and or a genuine interest and desire in it consistently over a period of time. Its important to allow them to explore their curiosity and nurture it at a young age in order for them to have time to develop healthy habits and outlooks on things later on down the road. You never know, it can probably even change their lives like it has for me! Finally, it is important that your child understands the responsibility of commitment before enrolling them into lessons. As the saying goes, "you can take a horse to the river, but you can't force it to drink". Therefore, talk to them and more importantly ENCOURAGE them to keep going when it gets rough for them and see how you can get more involved in their musical journey.
